Docker: a self-sufficient runtime for linux containers
======================================================
Docker is a process manager with superpowers
============================================

Docker is a process manager with superpowers. It is designed to run heterogeneous payloads on an heterogenous fleet of servers, with strong guarantees of isolation and repeatability.
Docker is a process manager with superpowers. It encapsulates heterogeneous payloads in Standard Containers, and runs them on any server with strong guarantees of isolation and repeatability.
It is designed to be used as a reliable building block for the automation of distributed systems: large web deployments, database clusters, continuous deployment, private PaaS, service-oriented architectures, etc.
* Heterogeneous payloads: any combination of binaries, libraries, configuration files, scripts, virtualenvs, jars, gems, tarballs, you name it. No more juggling between domain-specific tools. Docker can deploy and run them all.

* Heterogeneous set of servers: docker can run on any x64 machine with a modern linux kernel - whether it's a laptop, a bare metal server or a VM. This makes it perfect for multi-cloud deployments.
* *Any server*: docker can run on any x64 machine with a modern linux kernel - whether it's a laptop, a bare metal server or a VM. This makes it perfect for multi-cloud deployments.
* Isolation: docker isolates processes from each other and from the underlying host, using lightweight containers.
* Repeatability: because containers start from a known filesystem state, and are highly isolated, their behavior will be the same regardless of where they run, when they run, and what else is running.
* *Isolation*: docker isolates processes from each other and from the underlying host, using lightweight containers.
* *Repeatability*: because containers are isolated in their own filesystem, they behave the same regardless of where, when, and alongside what they run.
